Tom Arnold has revealed in a lengthy (and candid) series of Twitter messages Sunday into Monday that threats to him and his family from “alt-right nuts” have stopped him from releasing allegedly damaging outtakes of Donald Trump from “Celebrity Apprentice.”

Arnold now says that “Watergate level journalists are ontop [sic] of this.”

Since making it public that he had “Celebrity Apprentice” outtakes which allegedly show Trump “saying every dirty, every offensive, racist thing ever,” Arnold has been pressed by anti-Trump proponents to release them.

But it was one final nudge from fellow actor Michael Rapaport that pushed Arnold to spill the beans about what happened behind the scenes on the NBC reality show that the president-elect hosted for 14 seasons.

“I believe if Russia has something they can blackmail our president with its worth, the risk to me. Plus I’m a 57 year old father of 1 & 3 yr olds. I want to do all I can so there’s a safe America for them,” Arnold tweeted Sunday.\

During an interview on Dec. 16 with KIRO Radio’s Dori Monson, Arnold mentioned “the outtakes to ‘The Apprentice’ where he says every bad thing ever, every offensive, racist thing ever.”

He went on to explain that, at the time, Trump “wasn’t going to be President of the United States. It was him sitting in that chair saying the N-word, saying the C-word, calling his son a retard, just being so mean to his own children. Oh, this is so funny, this is this guy.”

What follows is Arnold’s account of threats to his family and growing concern of the President-elect’s behavior.

10 Times Donald Trump Shared Fake News (Photos)

Donald Trump is the country's most prominent spreader of fake news. Here are ten unquestionably fake news stories he has shared.

In 2009, Trump helped create fake news when the USA Network and WWE falsely reported that Trump was planning to buy "Monday Night RAW." It turned out that it was all part of a wrestling storyline.

Trump spent years demanding that President Obama produce his birth certificate and other papers in response to false e-mails that Obama was a Kenyan-born Muslim. He finally admitted Obama was born in this country in September, then accused Hillary Clinton of starting the lies about Obama.

In December 2011, Trump said President Obama "issued a statement for Kwanza but failed to issue one for Christmas." That was provably false. (This photo is from 2014.)

In February 2016, Trump entertained conspiracy theories that Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia was murdered when he said he was found with "a pillow on his face." Alex Jones' InfoWars had earlier reported on suggestions Scalia was killed. But the owner of the ranch where Scalia died later clarified that he did not have a pillow over his face.

In June 2016, Trump tweeted a photo that purported to show a family of African-Americans who supported him. But they told BuzzFeed they definitely did not.

In another case of Trump creating the fake news, he scored 22,000 retweets on Election Day by posting, "Just out according to @CNN: 'Utah officials report voting machine problems across entire country.'" But it was just one county. No R.

After saying for months before election day that the vote would be rigged, Trump won. He subsequently said “million of people” voted illegally. A guy on Twitter who had tweeted that 3 million voted illegally declined to provide any source. Trump has continued to make baseless claims about millions of illegal voters since he took office.

Let's give credit where its due: On Dec. 6, Trump fired one of his transition team staffers for tweeting a fake news story that led to an armed confrontation in a Washington, DC pizza restaurant. The issue became known as "pizzagate."

On his first full day in office, Trump visited the Central Intelligence Agency and claimed 1.5 million people attended his inauguration. The New York Times said that photographs "disproved" that number. Vox did a deep dive into why Trump's numbers appeared to be off. And a Texas NHL team, among others, made fun of him.
